[QUOTE="abinok, post: 92399, member: 16"] I too hate the uncertanty of just tight enough... Loose primer pockets.... HOW LOOSE IS LOOSE???? and on and on... I like to measure, because it takes most of the subjectiveness out of the equation. There are sooo many things that you can measure these days that you used to have to make subjective decisions on... bullet seating force, primer seating depth and pressure, even case head seperations! I like #s I tried the "close with slight pressure" thing for a while, and on some, it worked great, my old 243 for instance, but I found that I could get more consistant results with my calipers, than detecting the pressure required to turn my (un sprung) bolt with my finger. A lot of guys use that method, including the guy who built your die, so at any point feel free to plug your ears and run away Jim [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Just what this country boy has found to work, and thats it. Oh, it should be noted that the really trick setup is to have your smith short chamber a barrel stub with your reamer so you can use the shoulder cut into your chamber, together with calipers to get your #. Ive only got 2 of these, and they aren't even for my guns! but they work well. This isn't for Winnie is it im hopeing? [/QUOTE]
